Post colored spray-in liner?

Does anyone have a colored spray-in liner?
What color is it? How is it holding up to the suns UV rays? I guess with a bed cover there wouldn't be so much of a fading problem. I would like to get red, but don't want it turning pink in a few years.

Any other thoughts, thanks.

When the manager at Rhino Linings seen the teal blue color of our truck, he immediately advised us to go with black color of bed liner. He said some colors fade worse than other & he felt our color was very prone to fading. He said he would spray the teal blue; however, he would not guarantee against fading.

I talked to the local Rhino dealer about lining my Super Crew and they said that to get it colar matched was a $250 option. So insted of costing me $350, it would be $600. Also, if they do get it to match a certain colar besides Charcole or black, they would have to apply a special coating to the Rhino so it doesnt fade, but it makes it a bit more slippery. So in reality, your better off getting it in charcole of black

I have a colored Line-X. They tried to just mix colors to match instead of ordering by paint code, so it doesn't match the paint color very closely, but the color still looks pretty darn good. (It's reddish brown to match my Chestnut truck.) I like it. Cost me $625, would have been $400 for the grey liner, which would not have matched at all with the chestnut & gold truck.

I put a Rhino in mine. The guy there advised me not to try to match the color - said the process was just too new and had heard some horror stories. A Rhino will not come off after it goes on. Really happy with my black Rhino on my Arizona Beige.

I have a gray Rhinoliner to match my bed rails -- It has been on 18 months -- no fading so far -- It looks sharper than black -- at least I think it does. It only cost 20 bucks more than the black -- $305 (inc tax)

I just looked at the Line-X today... they're going to spray in a grey one. A black liner on an otherwise white truck just looks out of place. They'll get it close to the grey of the bed-rail caps and I'l be thrilled. That way it doesn't melt my gym-bag in the summertime! I like being able to sit in the bed, but with a black liner, it's damn near impossible.

Just my .02

My Line-X installer said essentially the same thing as everyone else here. A color match is possible, but is expensive, and prone to fading. For the diff in cost, it's best to stick to (I'm sorry...No pun intended) a black or dark grey liner.
